[plug] Fw: I am so sorry!Your hosts was hacked!

[Simon Scott]

	Sounds good in theory :) And for some it may work well. But ok, take
my example. I need identd open so I can connect to irc servers. 

	Thats why I get 3-4 attempts on it a week.

	So, my needs are small. But if you are actually 'serving' stuff,
your risk escalates. And if you have sendmail open, you are a fish in a
barrel :)

direct
